You can use a hydraulic pump pushing a large piston.
It is a 4 piston engine design.

A blown piston ring is a major mechanical problem. The easiest way to determine this is by checking on a bluish tint of the exhaust smoke.

A piston is essentially a moving "stopper" in a cylinder. It fits closely and responds to mechanical pressure from a connecting rod on one end or from a fluid on the other end. In air compressors that have pistons, the crankshaft turns and moves the piston (which is linked to the crank via a connecting rod) up and down in the cylinder to compress gas (like air). In an internal combustion engine, a burning fuel-air mixtue expands and forces the piston down, which transfers mechanical energy to the crankshaft. Use the link to the related question about what a piston does for more information.

Thermal energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy and light energy.
It is a type retaining fastener in mechanical engineering. For instance a gudgeon pin attaches a piston to a connecting rod in an engine.
Piston rings are made of steel. They have to be hard so there is chrome in them (almost stainless!) but not hard enough to score the cylinder walls, and must be flexible to "hug" the cylinder walls to make a good compressions seal. You may want to Google this question to get a better idea of some of the materials used.
